Just fell through, but not from the buyer's end. Wife's job situation has changed and gunna have to put the purchase on hold, unlikely that the seller will wait until it is sorted out. Cancelled holiday that required a car so the pressure is off as far as time goes :/
Bye bye car deposit
Dave_S13: Cheers for the advert, will keep an eye on it in case the situation changes and I get more cash to up to an LCI.

listen, check for front suspension noise. though mine was fine when I bought it,about 3 years driving the shocks,arms,ball joints and bushing all pretty badly worn.the 4 arms are over £100 each{ don't use aftermarket cheaper ones, but mine lasted about 1 year then failed}.
just replaced with genuine arms,drop links,discs/pads{not cheap!} £700 odd but drives nicely again.
dpf,s do block up too, very expensive to replace.

RWD cossie wil: Cheers dude, hoping to kick back into gear early December and find a car, one I was going to purchase will probably be sold by then (it was awesome spec and really looked after).
renorti: I hear ya, when I have been test driving I have been listening for knocking or rubbing while doing sharp stopping and acceleration as well as taking around roundabouts hard. Have been doing visual inspection of suspension components as well (as much as possible). I don't understand why DPF replacement is so expensive and no one can tell me why. It is a £300 part which should be bolt on/off from the exhaust track (and disconnect and reconnect sensor cables). Obviously there are a few things to remove to get to it but it did not look difficult, so why do I hear the horror stories of £2500 to replace it?
